Fillipe tohi

Fillipe tohi 

On Tuesday the 3rd of september 2019 room 5, 6, 7 and 8 went
down to the hall for assembly because there was a famous
tongan artist that was coming to our school. The tongan famous
artist's name was Fillipe tohi he came to our school to show
room 5, 6, 7, and 8 his art that he made, where he goes, where
he lives and what he does. Fillipe tohi is 60 years old and he
was drawing and painting ever since he was a kid. Fillipe tohi
has been an artist since 1990.  His art is all around New
Zealand, in Tonga, in China and in Samoa. When he was a kid
he was inspired by his grandmother. He had to stay with his
grandmother because his mum died when he was a little kid.
He was inspired by his grandmother because his grandmother
started painting and drawing by using wood and steel.
The steel represents how strong his grandmother is. His art is
related to other cultures but especially pacifica. He also made
a beautiful model about a vaka meaning boat in tongan.
His biggest project is the statue took 3 years to make.
He showed us he made an ancient monument built a long time
ago. The ancient monument inspired him to make his own mini
monument, that was made out of rocks. Most of his famous
arts are made out of kafa that means lashes. His arts like
carpets are made out of different patterns and different
meanings.

Endangered Animals.

  Habitat: By Jordan

People destroy and cut down their habitats to make space for buildings,
roads and farms. The trees, stones or landscape that gives animals shelter
for protection from hunters or killers disappear. The extra plants or animals
that are a part of their starvation may also declining as a result of making
space. The animals have to go to another different habitat because it will
become a very difficult time for them to survive. 

Hunting: By Keru

Animals are hunted because they are a massive source of food but
they also provide skins, fur, teeth, horns and bones.

Some parts of animals are used for cosmetics or traditional medicines.
The skins and fur are mostly used for clothing and accessories and
the teeth and bones are used for necklaces.Rhino horns are like
medicine for sick people.

Introduced animals: By Eh Htoo

Are animals that do not live in that habitat.
There number grow fast in their new habitat
and then make lots of trouble for the native animals.
Introduced animals can pray on the animals that live there
for food. They can steal their shelter and their food. Some
introduced animals like the cane toad cane be poisonous to
some native animals. 

Pollution: By Jordan

People violate the water, air and soil that animals expect on. Chemicals from
laboratories and farms can secure animals sick.

Trash like plastic, cans and other things in the sea can be eaten by sea
creatures that are not able to digest it.

Did you know?

Australian Aboriginals looks after the animals life cycles of the
animals they hunt. They know that they only need to hunt the animals
that they need for food to feed themselves or to feed their family. They make
sure that there are more animals left to reproduce the population of animals.
Which means the animals take care of the environment.

Jordan First panmure bridge

First Panmure Bridge.

Once we went to the yacht club to view the site of the first Panmure Bridge at Tamaki river. The first Panmure bridge was the first swing Bridge that got built in Panmure but then people were going over the swing bridge to go to Pakuranga to get vegetables fruits and kumara. The swing Bridge is one of those Bridges that open sideways or up and down for the boats to go through. The first bridge got collapsed because It couldn't carry that much cars on the swing Bridge.

Hemi was the first one to travel to the Panmure swing Bridge to go to Pakuranga to grow plants and fruits to go back to australia to make more money.
